MPEG4 Audio doesn't work

[None]

Mp4a audio doesn't work. A good example are the MPEG4 movies on the Internet Archive. These used to play fine in all previous versions.

Is this windows only?

My mp4a doesn't work too... I'm trying to encode video/audio before streaming to Darwin, but it gives me the error "cannot add this stream (unsupported codec:s16l)"

I'm using vlc 0.8.2-test2, and I'm under fedora core 2 os.

Yes this is in the Windows version. There's something wrong with 0.8.2 beta2. 0.8.1 used to play the internet archive MP4's just fine.

I can confirm this problem of MP4audio on gentoo vlc-0.8.2-r1.ebuild
too. I have many streams MP4 stream where audio is decoded on vlc-0.8.1.

If you want more informations tell me and i will provide it.

forget to say my stream play fine with mplayer.

Aplogies, , I should have said I'm on Win xp.

Problem solved by uninstalling 8.2 and reinstalling 8.1.

I new there was a reason I save old install files

I now have VLC v 0.8.4 installed (on WinXP).

When I play m4p-files (AAC-encoded, ripped by RealPlayer), the files seem to be understood by VLC, but they play without any sound!
This is what the messages says:
main warning: computed PTS is out of range (588874), clearing out

...

When opening a new .m4u-file, the VLC message output is really long, and there are a few warnings, like:
mp4 warning: unknown box type meta (uncompletetly loaded)
mp4 warning: i_timescale (44100) != i_sampleratehi (1000) with qt_version == 0
Making both equal. (report any problem)
mp4 warning: DEMUX_GET_FPS unimplemented !!
faad warning: decoded zero sample

I don't know, but m4u-audio is supposedly tested on Windows in VLC 0.8.4 by the developers. Can anyone provide any help? I would love to get VLC to work on my system.

Well, I've reverted to playing my mp4-audio files using Media Player Classic. That works.
